Most of us know the lady of the Lake as the girl that gave Excalibur to King Arthur. There is much more to her though. The Lady of the Lake is in many stories told around the world.
Who was the Lady of the Lake??
EXCALIBUR In the story of Excalibur, King Arthur has broken his sword fighting Pellinore, the black knight. King Arthur wants to beat pellinore so bad that he needs a new sword to fight him once again. Arthur desperately goes to the lake where the lady is located. Merlin told him that no one has been able to take the sword and that you have to do no wrong. Arthur replied, " I do wrong but i am going to try." The Lady of the lake then comes out of the water and tells him to get in the boat. When the sword sticks up, see if you can grab it. So Arthur grabs the sword and the lady tells her, " You may borrow the sword but when you die i want it back." Arthur agreed and went on to fight pelnor. Arthur won and Pellinore became one of Arthurs greatest knights.
